Editorial was unjustified

Once upon a time, there was a guy named Misiak. He is a very intelligent, competent, professional guy skilled at solving computer hardware and software problems.

He decided to put his additional talents of using his imagination, ingenuity and resourcefulness to good use in the political arena by assisting Pam Childers to become our current clerk of court.

Wouldn't one think this would be the type of person we citizens would love to have working for our local government? (Childers did - she hired him.)

Not so, says the curmudgeon-like PNJ editorial staff. What did these elitists have to say when Mayor Hayward was elected and proceeded to hire several political supporters (all qualified - just like Misiak) to high-level city positions? Answer: A big fat nothing!

The only thing that smells in this saga is the totally unjustified PNJ editorial. Childers showed her interest in the citizens she is serving by hiring someone extremely qualified with a proven ability to use his ingenuity and resourcefulness to take advantage of whatever tools are available to get the job done. Keep it up Pam - great hire - try to find more just like him!

War or murder?

Does the U.S. government - including the Congress and both major parties -believe in, condone and actually do murders?

Has the media been threatened, bribed or are they stooges for the federal government by not calling murder, murder?

Osama bin Laden was murdered. In none of the hundreds of reports has anyone proved or said that bin Laden was armed or resisted. He was shot twice, his body was thrown into the sea. The photos of his body are classified as top secret?

Was there any legal charge against bin Laden?

Were bin Laden's son and his wife murdered?

Did not the U.S. government approve the murder of Muammar al-Gaddafi by their friends in Lybia? How is that working out?

Did not the U.S. government murder 14-year-old Sammy Weaver and his mother, Vickie, at Ruby Ridge, Idaho?

What about murder at Waco, Texas, April 19, 1993?

If you shoot or bomb a suspect and kill dozens or thousands of innocent people, including women and children, is that not murder?

Where are Rep. Jeff Miller and the local religious people on this?
